Love Stages

Who’s to say what love really is? Love is a very strong feeling that comes in three different categories: love for family, friends, and spouses. Family is usually considered a huge part of a person’s life. People usually grow up to love their family in good or bad times. Family love is always considered eternal as a friends love is basically the replacement of family. The love for a spouse is usually the most sacred love that exists and includes their mental emotions.

The love I have for my parents is an unconditional type of love. Unconditional love provides the cornerstone of my self-esteem. It’s the love that communicates with me, because when its said by a parent, you know what they feel and what they meant by it. When my parents say “I believe in you, I’m here for you, and I love you no matter what.” you as the child feel loved and understand the point being made by the parent. Unfortunately, what many kids get is conditional love. Growing up saying I love you to my parents is a part of my goodbyes. It’s not a choice to love them or not it’s just something I’m supposed to do. Loving my parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life. I can still love them and not like them, but I find the love in my heart for the fact that they created me, raised me and are a part of who I am today. This is sincere love, the only love that lasts forever.

My friendship type of love is honest, open and comfortable. The pathway to honest love begins in friendship. Best friends do a lot together and they are each other's number one companion because, they can be completely honest and trust in one another .The best friendship is about adoration and freedom to be who you are at all times.Good or bad, a best friend relationship can consist of honest love. I have this kind of bond with a few people. I know a lot of people, and I’m "friendly" with them in a group situation
